The Good Hurt play Futuresonic 2007

Aye aye....

Thought I’d drop a blog on an upcoming event we've got coming up which is a little outside the norm of our usual gigging ... (you can always get the latest info from our MySpace)

FRIDAY 11TH MAY 2007 5:30pm THE KOFFEE POT
21 Hilton Street, Northern Quarter M1 1JJ, Manchester
just off Oldham Street
admission - free

It’s an acoustic gig with some guest spots by our musician buddies as part of the Futuresonic Festival 2007. (Drongomala played it last year as part of ElectroRaga). The Koffee Pot is a little bohemia den in the form of a cafe and it’s a bring your own booze affair but to help you get 'started' we will provide a paper cup of punch to all entrants. That's right - the bloody summers cummininnit? ;)

Guests hopefully appearing on the day alongside TGH are : TheWhatSupreme (rapper), Brother Ghazi (rap), and Annette (vocalist) and more. Our idea is to have a bunch of friends we know come down and play with us and swell our normal electropunkrock 3 piece into a bigger acoustic crew for the evening. We'll have a VJ there too visually pulsing on a secret primitive theme - he'll be broadcasting directly on us and our new clobber.

Things begin early at 5:30pm with Alien Girl (WTF is their Myspace?) kicking the evening off and we’ve managed to get the place to stay open a little later so things finish off at around 8:30pm. Dig It.

We'll be promoting the night with a live session on All FM with Caroline on her TeaTime Sessions show on Wednesday 9th May from 5:30.

This is a one off for The Good Hurt - like some sun solstice shit- don't miss it.

The Good Hurt Release Prescription No 1

The Good Hurt was formed in Manchester late in 2006 and quickly got militant about creating the best sounds and songs they possibly could. They dig all genres except New Jack Swing which gets them agitated.

Their sentiments are as diverse as their influences and the scientific, romantic, realistic, cinematic and nihilistic sides to life are all well explored.

Prescription No 1, their first EP, easily showcases their ability to be super-punk oiks one minute (check out Kick This Habit) while classic and well structured the next (check Good Souls). Recording and mixing the EP in one day has made sure that the energy has went straight to the recording...no tricks - it's all playing.

The Good Hurt don't contrive any sort of identity and instead dig the challenge of breeding an eclectic yet coherent output. They are as likely to use a wobbly synth or accordion as they are a distorted guitar.

Each live show gets better than the last and these guys are set for bigger things in 2007.
